Health implementation plan 'right on schedule'

The final health implementation plan for south-east South Australia is on track to be released at the end of the month.

The South East Task Group will finalise consultation with key stakeholders this week, before making final changes to the draft plan.

The priorities of the plan include mental health, emergency services, aged care and GP services.

The chairwoman of the task group, Jayne Downs, says the whole south-east will come under the one plan.

"We've had previously the 10-year health plan, then this is bringing all of the plans for the south-east together to identify the actions for the next one to three years," she said.

"So it is a new phase of planning and I think it really brings it to that rubber on the road if you like, it's fairly practical in saying what are the things we're going to do as priorities over the next three years.

"So quite a lot of work has gone into the plan with the task group and it's been drafted and redrafted, taking into account other feedback and the views of the group and now out for consultation, so that finishes on the 16th of March and then we'll see that finalised based on that feedback, so right on schedule."
